Beautiful work!

"Beautiful work!"

On time, on target.

"I was very pleased with the quality, speed and accuracy of my order. I thought that with the Marine Corps Ball right around the corner that my order would be delayed or maybe not be delivered prior to the event. Well, you guys proved me wrong and thank you."

— Steve J. (5/5)

The best

"I pretty much solely use USAMM for my decorations and medals. They are super professional, attention to detail is spot on, and you can’t beat the turn around time. Even for an overseas delivery."

— Erik H. (5/5)

Bling Bling!

"These medals look fantastic! I’ve seen many throughout my time in the military and I must say these look the best. I was also impressed with the expedient shipping with me being all the way out in Hawaii. Well done!"

— Whitfield J. (5/5)

21 years later...

"21 years later, who would have known that I would be asked by two United States Air Force Academy Cadets to give them their First Salute? I quickly pulled out my Mess Dress to find no medals... USAMM helped with the issue, they are perfect and professionally done. Thank you!"

— John B. (5/5)

Great racks. Not so great turnaround time for me..

"The racks are great but in my case, it took several weeks for my order to ship. Customer service did a good job of getting the order shipped after I contacted them, but it would be better if known delays were posted on the site just like the company touts the 99% of orders shipping within 24hrs. I ended up spending another $170+ at clothing sales so I could have an updated rack for my event. If you’re in a rush, I suggest confirming shipping times with customer service prior to placing an order."
